[ANNOUNCE] Vala 0.21.2 - Compiler for the GObject type system

[news 28]

We are pleased to announce version 0.21.2 of Vala, a compiler for the

GObject type system.

 

Vala 0.21.2 is now available for download at:

http://download.gnome.org/sources/vala/0.21/

 

Changes since 0.21.1

* Recognize ref/unref functions in .gir files.

* Add geocode-glib bindings.

* Bug fixes and binding updates.

 

Vala is a programming language that aims to bring modern programming

language features to GNOME developers without imposing any additional

runtime requirements and without using a different ABI compared to

applications and libraries written in C.

 

valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates

Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject

type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala source

code.
